With #MeToo movement on the go, countless sexual harassment stories were shared by many women. Hundreds of women came out with their bitter experiences in the entertainment industry as well as other domains of society. However, there have been little or no male survivor stories. Giving a turn to the ongoing Me Too campaign, TV actor Rahul Raj Singh accused screenwriter Mushtaq Sheikh of molestation and sexual harassment while talking to a leading entertainment daily. The actor has also filed a complaint against the writer and alleged that he molested him multiple times and promised him roles in return.

Rahul Raj Singh was in the news a couple of years ago when he was charged with abetment to suicide of his late girlfriend and actress Pratyusha Banerjee. The actress took her life by hanging herself through a ceiling fan.

Rahul says that the way women have bravely come out with their #MeToo story, it has inspired him to do the same. Narrating his alleged sexual harassment, he told how he met Mushtaq Sheikh after he was awarded Grasim Mr India model in 2014. Sheikh asked him to meet after work hours to discuss a prospective project. He also started calling him during odd hours at night.
